Steven Griffith – Now

Steven Griffith has had a somewhat unremarkable acting career since leaving his role as Tex. Only four more acting credits have been added to his resume in the more than 25 years since he began his profession. To date, his most prominent roles have been on the television sitcom Break a Hip. It’s worth noting, though, that Griffith was eliminated from an episode of Desperate Housewives because he was too tall for the part.

After pursuing a career in acting for a while, Griffith decided in 2012 to focus all of his time and energy on his writing. Before that, he had been working in the entertainment industry.

Margo Moorer as Louise

The scene involving the character Louise, who is portrayed by Margo Moorer, is one of those “blink and you will miss it” kinds of scenarios. However, if you view the movie again, you won’t be able to forget about her. After Forrest has grown up and begun fishing for shrimp, Mrs. Gump hires Louise to work for her as a housekeeper. For the most part, Louise is a maid.
